    Camera Compatibility List: bit.ly/3HfCKtC
    Bundle is here: share-eu.eufylife.com/v1/shop...
    In this video I will be taking a look at and comparing Eufy’s NEW HomeBase 3 to the older Homebase 2 as well as looking at the EufyCam 3 4k which comes in a bundle. I will also be showing you the setup process and upgrade process, SPOILER, there isn’t an upgrade process!
    Enjoy!

    I am sorry but 12 Minutes of talking without answering the question that clearly makes out the title... Yes you've mentioned lots of details of the new generation (all public information) but as a long-term user of the Eufy portfolio you should add way more details of what makes the 3rd generation superiour to the 2nd generation, supposing this is the case. Especially some first-hand impressions of how the AI is doing and how it is improving itself over time is missing.

    Hi Scott, being a complete owner of the 4 camera Eufy 2 Pro 2 k kit (worked brilliantly) I added another Pro cam 2 and the door lock with camera, finger print, key pad etc then my problems started. I have a samsung S21 and the 'notifications' were just blank white screens when you get notified. Previously I got the notification and when you click on it it would show the clip but now no video but you still get audio. I called the support group here in Australia (as I live in Perth, Western Australia) and they were brilliant but had never heard of it but sent me a heap of commands, unplug the home base, dump the Samsung cache, reboot the phone, etc, etc. All failed.
    I got my old Samsung S8 out of hibernation and its good. The app works on the wifes iphone, my ipad and all's good but alias the Samsung S21 is doomed.
    I told the support group I'll probably go and just buy the Home Base 3 and see if that resolves the problem?
    I asked if anybody else had experienced this world wide but they didn't Know.
    Love your show,

    • @scottpinhorne
      @scottpinhorne  Рік тому

      Hi, thanks for question. Yes with those added so far detection is much better meaning less notifications. I’m waiting to add my floodlights next 😃

      Pls put a video as well when adding floodlight, I got 2 as well. Another question please. When using Geofencing after all cams added, meaning that you only would get one single notification that system switched to Away or Home after you added all stand alone cams?

    I just bought a Eufy S340 and I hate it. I only get notifications when some activity happens but I would think that the camera would come on and I could see this live....sort of like the live feed from the E340 doorbell. I need a camera that comes on when there is activity!!!

Is there any experience what can cause this? i tried to uninstall reinstall app, but its the same? Could it be that the 16Gb storage is full? Thanks.
